Is that equation even dimensionally correct? What are the units of heat and light?
Explain "Biochemical".

X.x I have no idea. That's what Rena said, I just wrote it down XD

All you have to do is get a focus point for it, and wait. Then blam, you have yourself a 'photon' weapon of your own.sort of like a magnifying glass being used to burn ants. Just focus the light long enough and BAM!!!! roasted ants
Oh yeah, Little Killer, XD is just letterface. If you laugh really hard, your face looks a little like that, and it's as close as it can get via computerization and use of the alphabet.

I think we need to leave the ants alone. Sometimes, they remind me of humans. . . They just don't have photon weapons.

Chea, just that. Once it gets strong enough, they go pop.

Doesn't that mean if you shine two lights perfectly at one another they should go out? o_O Wait now I'm horribly confused!
Photons: a Definition - nomercy - 05-02-2007
That confused me, as well.

Well, it confused me as well, but that was what the dictionary said! Firstly, I'm no physicist, and I don't know what an antiparticle is, so I had a look on Wikipedia, but I still didn't understand.
Apparently, the dictionary was wrong. It isn't its own antiparticle. "Photon holes" are. Don't try to understand that. I tried to ask my close friend, a final year physics undergraduate, but he wouldn't explain to me
.The article on photons in Wikipedia was more interesting, and even more still, the article on lasers! That's more like what we're really interested in.
